"Media Restricted: Judge's Orders in Trump Hush Money Trial"

The judge in Donald Trump's hush money trial ordered the media not to report where potential jurors have worked and to be cautious about revealing information about them, after a dismissed juror expressed concerns about her privacy being compromised. Despite the difficulty of maintaining juror anonymity in a high-profile case, 12 jurors were seated for the historic trial. The judge's order raised questions about First Amendment rights and the balance between protecting jurors and public access to court proceedings.

"Judge Orders Release of Prince Harry's Visa Application Information in Bitter Court Battle"

A D.C. judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to provide details of Prince Harry's visa application to a conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which is seeking to confirm whether Harry disclosed his history with illegal drugs as detailed in his 2023 memoir. The foundation believes that if Harry did not make the legally mandated disclosure, it would expose a double standard weighted towards privileged individuals. The DHS has fought to keep Harry's visa paperwork sealed, citing privacy concerns, but the judge's order requires the DHS to provide a declaration of the documents it is holding in connection with Harry's immigration status for review.

"Trump's Legal Woes Escalate: E. Jean Carroll Trial Signals Trouble Ahead"

The judge overseeing the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial against Donald Trump has signaled that the case is essentially already decided, making it clear that the upcoming trial will not be a "do over" of the previous one. Trump is barred from claiming he did not sexually assault Carroll or that she fabricated her account, and he cannot discuss DNA evidence or make disparaging remarks about Carroll in court. The judge's order severely limits Trump's defense strategy and suggests that he potentially stands much more to lose by showing up for the trial.

"Judge Orders Release of Jeffrey Epstein's Associates' Names in Court Documents"

A federal judge has ordered the release of court documents containing the names of over 150 individuals connected to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, including sex abuse victims, witnesses, and Epstein's employees. The judge stated that most of the names were already public and that many had not objected to their release. Individuals mentioned in the documents have until January 1 to appeal the order. The judge also determined that some portions of the records should remain confidential, particularly those identifying individuals who were children when they were sexually abused by Epstein. The case has sparked conspiracy theories about the involvement of powerful figures in sex trafficking, but the criminal cases have focused on Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial, and Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.

"Judge Orders Unsealing of Epstein Lawsuit Documents, Revealing Over 150 Names"

A federal judge has ordered the release of the identities of over 150 individuals mentioned in court documents related to the late-financier Jeffrey Epstein, including sex abuse victims, witnesses, and Epstein's employees. The judge stated that most of the names were already public and that many had not objected to the release. Individuals mentioned in the records have until January 1 to appeal the order. Some portions of the records will remain confidential, particularly those identifying individuals who were children when they were sexually abused by Epstein and sought to maintain their privacy. The release of the documents comes amid ongoing criminal cases focusing on allegations of sexual abuse by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, while Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her involvement in recruiting and sexually abusing underage girls.

Ohio Supreme Court Dismisses Appeal, Leaving Abortion Ban Order in Place

The Ohio Supreme Court has dismissed the state's challenge to a judge's order that has blocked enforcement of Ohio's near-ban on abortions for the past 14 months. The ruling sends the case back to Hamilton County Common Pleas, where abortion clinics have asked a judge to permanently throw out the law following voters' decision to approve enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution. The ban, which prohibited most abortions after the first detectable "fetal heartbeat," was briefly in effect when the Roe v. Wade decision was overturned last year but was subsequently blocked and challenged as unconstitutional.

Judge Orders Anonymous Jury in E. Jean Carroll's Defamation Case Against Trump

A federal judge in New York has ordered an anonymous jury for the upcoming civil defamation trial between former President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, citing Trump's "repeated public statements" about the case and the court. The jurors' names will not be revealed, and they will be kept together during recesses and transported to an undisclosed location before returning home. The trial, scheduled for January, will determine damages as the judge has already determined that Trump's statements were defamatory. Carroll is seeking $10 million.

Judge Orders NYC to Halt Migrant Shelter in Former School, Citing Outdated 'Right to Shelter' Rule

A judge in Staten Island has ordered New York City to stop using a former Catholic school as a migrant shelter, criticizing the city's "Right to Shelter" law as outdated. The preliminary injunction blocks the city from housing asylum seekers at the former St. John Villa Academy, although it is unclear if the facility will close. The judge argued that the 1981 law was not intended to address the current influx of asylum seekers and called it an "anachronistic relic from the past." The city plans to appeal the decision, stating that it threatens efforts to manage the national humanitarian crisis.

"Judge Imposes Restrictions on Trump's Discussion of Classified Info in Mar-a-Lago Documents Case"

A federal judge has issued an order setting limits on former President Donald Trump's discussions of classified information with his defense lawyers in the criminal case where he is charged with retaining classified documents after leaving the White House. The judge's order endorsed limitations sought by prosecutors, but did not explicitly address Trump's request to create a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The order implied that only a SCIF operated by the U.S. government would be used, but did not rule out the possibility of one being created at Mar-a-Lago in the future.
